impact of wide body jet aircrafts on the aviation industry with regard to passengers fares and travel?

Answer 1

I think this is a very interesting question. The higher number of seats per aircraft will lead to cheaper fares, but only if all other things remain constant. if for instance:
1 Oil prices rise further, the price may not change whatsoever
2 The laws of supply and demand will only apply if the seats on the aircraft are all bought out. If seats are not sold then it may be more expensive to fly a wide body jet around as the jet is heavier and will use more fuel.

I think that the real driving factor for the aviation industry at the moment is the cost of fuel. You are probably going to see larger effects come from better aerodynamics, improvements in engine technology, and research into modern lightweight materials such as precipitate metals. Interestingly I read that if you can shed a kilogram of weight of a commercial airliner you can save over $200,000 in the costs of fuel over the planes commerical lifespan.

Answer 2

the arrival of a more efficient widebody would drive the cost/passenger kilometre down. However, this is now lost as the price of oil rises. The next generation of aircraft such as the A380 won't actually make a difference. It's targeted at airports with limited slots, so the frequency doesn't need to be increase. If the unit price is to go down then the engine and airframe have to be more optimized

Answer 3

Wide body of a aircraft, slows it down. 707 can cruse at 650 Miles per hour, with top speed at 750 MPH, almost on the freeze of being supersonic. There were unconfirmed reports of its breaking sound barrier. 745 can cruse at 4xx MPH only.

GE and McDonnell Douglas had Pro-fan engine developed and flight tested(on MD-80), it was approve for passenger service by FAA, it was extremely efficient(break even was 33% of the passenger capacity), the air lines had even orders placed with Mc, subject to insurance They were not able to find Insurer. McDonnell Douglas alone lost $750 Million. The company had to cut its work force by 60% over 5years, it finally merged with Boeing.

The wide body aircraft can carry more passenger, and do have more fuel efficiency. This has every thing to do with advances in design, even narrow body craft are getting more and more efficient.

But for wide body aircraft capacity the sky will be extremely crowded, near Major airports, increasing the chances of mid air collisions. This would affect the traffic on ground (runways, taxi way and terminals)also. In that way they have contributed to the over all safe travel.

Most air lines try to configure planes to produce maximum revenue(profit), so leg room and wide seats are just up to the airlines.

During the last oil peace increases, most airline lost lots and lots of money, even after surcharging the passengers.

Answer 4

interior the airline marketplace they use a device referred to as seat mile fee. in certainty it recommend how plenty it expenses to circulate that seat you're in one mile. the bigger the airplane the decrease the seat mile fee. Many components are figured into seat mile fee from modern gas fees to the form of flight attendants and their salaries that are required for a set form of passengers. that is a ballancing act to discover the suitable airplane for any given course. larger widebody airplane that have been presented interior the early 70s drove seat mile expenses down extremely for long selection trip. The airlines have been waiting to sell tickets at a chit and nevertheless make a income on any given course through fact of that decreased seat mile fee.

Still haven't finished your homework, eh?

More people, lower fares. Yay.
